Submission declined on 22 October 2025 by Scope creep (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Scope creep 9 months ago.

Doccla is a British health technology company founded in 2019 and headquartered in London. It supplies remote patient monitoring technology and virtual ward services to NHS trusts and integrated care systems across the United Kingdom and to Ireland's Health Service Executive. The company is registered with the Care Quality Commission in England for regulated activities relating to the treatment of disease, disorder or injury.^[1]

Doccla was founded in 2019 by Martin Ratz and Dag Larsson. Ratz, who experienced a cardiac event in 2017, has described this as a formative influence on his interest in remote patient monitoring.^[2] The company was incorporated in Sweden and launched its UK service during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.^[3]

In August 2023, Sifted reported that Doccla acquired OpenTeleHealth, a Danish remote monitoring platform, with the aim of expanding into additional European markets.^[4]

In September 2021, Doccla raised $3.3 million in a seed funding round led by Giant Ventures and Speedinvest.^[2]

In September 2022, the company closed a £15 million Series A round led by General Catalyst. The round included KHP Ventures, a fund established by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and King's College London.^[2]

In September 2024, Doccla secured £35 million in a Series B round led by Lakestar. Participants included Elaia, General Catalyst, Bertelsmann Investments, and Speedinvest. Digital Health reported that the funding was intended to support expansion in France and the DACH region.^[5] Sifted noted that the round brought total funding raised to £52 million.^[3]

Doccla's core service consists of a managed remote patient monitoring solution. Patients receive a kit of medical-grade devices, including pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, and thermometers, together with a pre-configured tablet or smartphone. Clinicians monitor patient vital signs through a cloud-hosted dashboard. A peer-reviewed evaluation of a UK COVID-19 virtual ward, published in the Journal of Primary Care & Community Health, described patients receiving a home monitoring kit covering temperature, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure, with bedside training on enrolment and equipment collected at discharge.^[6]

The company describes its offering as an end-to-end managed service covering device logistics, patient support, compliance monitoring, and access to a CQC-registered clinical team, across pathways including respiratory, cardiology, frailty, and palliative care.^[2]

Doccla has supplied virtual ward and remote patient monitoring (RPM) services to NHS trusts and integrated care systems in England and Scotland.

In January 2026, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust launched the Barnet Enhanced Virtual Care pilot, which the trust described as the largest NHS scheme of its kind at the time. The pilot provides 24-hour virtual clinical support and remote monitoring to 2,500 patients in Barnet with chronic conditions including coronary heart disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and chronic liver disease. Doccla holds day-to-day clinical responsibility for patients under the scheme, with the trust retaining system-level clinical governance. The pilot is due to run until April 2027, with early estimates projecting a reduction of up to 30 per cent in emergency admissions among participants.^[7]

Also in January 2026, South East London Integrated Care System announced the launch of a Virtual Ward Plus service in Lewisham in partnership with Doccla, targeting residents with respiratory conditions including asthma and COPD who had been identified as high risk of complications.^[8]

In March 2026, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust announced a COPD Proactive Care service in north Lambeth, delivered with the North Lambeth Primary Care Network and Doccla. The service supports up to 150 patients at a time and is designed to provide remote monitoring and symptom reviews for patients with COPD who have been identified as likely to benefit from additional support at home.^[9]

In April 2025, NHS Sussex announced a contract with Doccla to support the expansion of its virtual ward programme. NHS Sussex described its virtual wards as having achieved the highest admission avoidance rate in England, at 81 per cent.^[10]

Also in April 2025, Digital Health reported that NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde announced plans to develop a virtual hospital of up to 1,000 beds using Doccla technology, serving a population of over 1.2 million people. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed the initiative as part of a three-year strategic programme, with phased implementation planned to begin in summer 2025.^[11][12]

In November 2023, Joined Up Care Derbyshire announced plans to deploy virtual ward technology using Doccla across five clinical pathways at multiple sites, covering palliative, respiratory, frailty, cardiology, and haematology care.^[13]

Doccla entered the Irish market in partnership with the Health Service Executive, initially deploying virtual wards at University Hospital Limerick and St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin for cardiology and respiratory patients. The HSE reported that over 1,937 patients had been enrolled, accounting for more than 18,100 patient active days since the service began in July 2024.^[14]

In December 2025, the Irish Examiner reported that the HSE had expanded the service to all seven of its regions.^[15]

An evaluation commissioned by NHSX and conducted by KSS Insights compared a conventional virtual ward at Kettering General Hospital with a technology-enabled model using Doccla at Northampton General Hospital. The evaluation reported patient compliance of 98.9 per cent, patient satisfaction of 93 per cent, and a mean length of stay of 10 days in the Doccla-supported ward compared with 19 days in the conventional ward.^[16]

A study published in the BMJ journal Gut reported that patients with decompensated cirrhosis monitored at home after discharge had fewer emergency admissions compared with a control group, 12 per cent versus 28 per cent, and lower 90-day liver-related mortality.^[17]

A Sky News report on virtual wards included commentary from Doccla's chief medical officer on smartphone-enabled monitoring for patients recovering at home.^[18]

The company's funding rounds and European expansion have been covered by TechCrunch, Sifted, Tech.eu, and Digital Health.^{[2][3][5][19]}
